Ronnie Lee Oswalt, age 82, a resident of Chillicothe, Missouri, passed away Sunday, July 27, 2025, at his home, in Chillicothe, Missouri.
Ronnie was born the son of Earl Glen and Pearl Josephine (LaFever) Oswalt on April 15, 1943, in Princeton, Missouri. He was a 1961 graduate of Princeton High School, Princeton, Missouri. Ronnie was united in marriage to Teanah Sturdevant, on August 30, 1963, in Trenton, Missouri. She survives of the home.
Ronnie was employed at Donaldson’s for 41 years. He was a press operator for the first 20 years and then a forklift driver. He was a member of the Men’s Bowling Association, the Men’s Golf League and a past member of the Elks Lodge. He loved going to the casinos and working in his yard. He was very meticulous when it came to his yard. Ronnie was the guy who could fix anything, and was a jokester as well. He enjoyed a good chocolate cake or peach cobbler now and then. His family was his world and he loved spending time with them whenever possible.
